Q: When will the Real Estate Regulation Bill to be passed? Will it provide any relaxation to a common man?

My comments to replies
Hi everybody, We are very close to achieve this amended bill which has several penalties clause for the builders. As per the current news, the Parliamentary Select Committee for the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill 2013 is likely to push for more strict clauses that may lead to imprisonment of builders if they do not fulfill their obligations to home-buyers.
Hi Bikram, If it is true then it will certainly help a lot to the home buyers because financial penalties alone won't work since private developers will simply factor in the cost of these penalties in their projects and pass it on to home-buyers.
6th July 2015
Yes, but the final report of the Select Committee of the Rajya Sabha is still under preparation and will be tabled before the upcoming monsoon session. If it comes then there will a provision for imprisonment of up to 3 years or a fine extending up to 10% of the project cost or a combination of the two, but only in cases where developers repeatedly fail to register their projects with the regulatory authority or do not obey with orders for registration.

Hi Rakshit, It means "Achche Din Aa gaye". Modi Govt is really doing a great job for this country. Currently, there are many builders who have to be controlled in and the current disciplinary action measures may not work as a sufficient defensive. So, the main objectives of the committee is to see how best they can protect the interests of helpless consumers from the high-handedness of powerful, unethical builders.
@Vineet, It means if there will be any important change from the original schedule, specifications or structural design in what is finally delivered to home-buyers is considered as a breach of obligation by the builder.

Q: I heard that this property comes under Forest Land and investors may have to deal with court proceedings in future.

My comments to replies
Hello All- I am planning to buy flat in prestige residency project, thane. Need to know if they have got OC & if there is any dispute of forest land pending. Any suggestions/comments from the existing residents would be of great help. Awaiting reply THanks. Ramesh, Mumbai
I think kishore is right. You should check all the legal documents and approval first. Because, there are lot's of bad reviews in this project. It will be better for you if take the advice of a legal expert on it. If there is a land issue then visit the local municipal ask whether the locality comes under forest zone or not. Ask for the latest tax receipt, CC and IOD from the builder.

Q: The government introduced new rules for calculating the FSI. Will it be helpful for the builders to sell properties in lesser price?

My replies to this discussion
I agree with you Vikash.. Also, the Planning Commission has recently recommended to increase the floor space index (FSI) or floor area ratio which in turn will may raise the height of the properties in India, but it may take some time as the country is not ready yet.. Developers say an increase in the FSI was long due, witnessing the shortage in plots. Builders and analysts also say a higher FSI would not necessarily translate into affordable housing, as the density per acre norms need to be relaxed as well.I agree with you Vikash..

Q: We have recently done booking on the 9th floor of building 3 of Avenue I in Global City, Virar. We have two questions, though. First, when we asked for commencement certificate, we were given ‘Revised Redevelopment Permission’. We were told that Vasai-Virar Municipality uses this terminology. Is it the fact? Second question is regarding the builders. In the Agreement, we were shown that Enigma Constructions is the main developer, a far subsidiary of Rustomjee group. Are the Enigma builders constructing all the Avenues of Global City? Do they have any other completed projects to their credit, as of now? Please, those who know about the project or are buyers, do get back asap. Thank You.

My replies to this discussion
Hi Pratima, commencement certificate is also known as development permission in Delhi but I don't know if it is call the same in Mumbai as well. Global City is one of the projects of Rustomjee group. May be Enigma Constructions have tie up with Rustomjee and are marketing/ advertising the projects.

Q: Is this correct that all the buyers who bought under construction property between Jun 2006 to March 2010, will have to pay 5% VAT on agreement value plus an interest of 15% per annum?
My comments to replies
Hi all, According to Supreme Court VAT can not be imposed on buyers who have bought their property between June 2006 and March 2010. This has come as a shock to builders in the state who wanted 1% tax instead of 5% imposed by the state government in 2006. They were recovering the VAT amount from buyers.
Thanks for the valuable information Sandeep, Even the court also directed the Maharashtra government to bring clarity in Rule 58 (1-A) — relating to VAT rules. We respect the Supreme Court verdict but we will study the judgment only after we get a copy. The taxes imposed by the government have always been passed on to the buyer. Why should we pay from our pocket?
6th June 2014
It seems that the judgement will push the states' VAT authorities to tax all transactions for properties that are under construction. This could also include the real estate transactions concluded in the past few years. The judgement was straightforward by a larger bench of the Supreme Court, so the decision shall be considered the law of the land until it is disallow by a constitutional bench of the apex court.

Q: Will the corridor coming up in Bangalore going to impact the real estate sector?
My comments to replies
Tumkur road is already booming due to the planned national investment and manufacturing zone (NIMZ) which would be a 5,000 hectare integrated industrial township. The Bangalore-Mumbai corridor crossing through Tumkur Road will be an add on to its growth. The shifting of the Peenya industrial belt to Dobbaspet in west Bangalore is also going to help the western front picking up its industrial activity.
Yeah, Bangalore has 2 industrial corridor fro itself as well as development of Mysore as textile cluster that will take the pressure off Bangalore to some extend..

Q: At the time of booking themarket interest rate was around 8.5 to 9 % where as lodha was offering 6% ( ie rebate of 2.5% approx.)if loan is taken from this 2 banks. This rebate was suppose to be paid by lodha to bank after a year from disbursement. Now when I approached them they seems to make some excuses. Hence I want to know if any body has got this benefit.

Hi Mr Mandhare, I wonder why the builder was giving less interest rate as against official interest rates for loan.. I think it wanted to sell off all its flats by luring with such offers.. However, what is the price they are quoting now??Hi Mr Mandhare, I wonder why the builder was giving less interest rate as against official interest rates for loan..

Q: Hi All, Hope u guys are aware of the latest news about the Worli ( Campa Cola Society) demolishen. 170 flat owners have been asked to leave just because they did not have the occupancy certificate..

This only reminds me that few blocks in PWC are still not given with the OC. Note: This is not to create any worry, just a concern that we all need to squarely plan and resolve.

If they will withdraw they wont be able to book another building with the same rate. It is also come to hear that they have not submitted the document to CIDCO properly.

Q: Any idea about auction properties? and how to go about it, how to get positive cash-flow on invested property?
My replies to this discussion
If you are planning to buy a property through auction, you will have to be very cautious. Few points to check out before deciding to bid 1) Check the property documents and engage a lawyer 2) Do the market analysis to decide the market value of the property, this will help you to strike a good deal. 3) Do a basis inspection of the property, as you will have to bear the expenses like the repair, renovation, unpaid property taxes, statutory liabilities and electricity dues along with the stamp duty and registration charges.

East Ghatkopar has better infrastructure than West Ghatkopar , It is closer to the Eastern Express Highway and thus enjoys a better connectivity to other parts of the city. Also the drainage system is better for EG, WG gets logged in monsoon as it is a low laying area. So I would say that EG is a better option.East Ghatkopar has better infrastructure than West Ghatkopar , It is closer to the Eastern Express Highway and thus enjoys a better connectivity to other parts of the city.

Q: How is the real estate trends in Worli, Prabhadevi and Dadar West?
My comments to replies
Worli acts as a bridge between North and South Mumbai due to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The planned monorail is expected to reduce travel time by directly connecting the area to suburban locations. Major companies such as GSK Pharma, Century Textiles, RPG Group, HDFC Bank, Yes Bank and Tata Group are setting up their bases here. Siemens has its Indian Headquarters in Worli. The proposed Peddar Road flyover from Worli will improve its connectivity to the CBD. The proposed Worli-Nariman Point-Cuffe Parade sea link will enhance transportation in Worli.
Prabhadevi is a primary IT/ITeS hub of Mumbai. Prabhadevi and Dadar west are emerging as upscale residential and commercial destinations on the central corridor of Mumbai. These localities are surrounded by the residential area of Shivaji Park on the north, and Worli and Lower Parel in the south. The three areas are home to some rich celebrities, sports persons and industrialists.

Q: Is it a smart idea to invest in Mumbai western stretch?
My replies to this discussion
When it comes to long term investing prospects in a city, major highways are the best bet as they provide good connectivity to various localities within the city and areas in other cities. Due to this connectivity, the infrastructure of a particular area grows and with growth in infrastructure, the growth in demand for that area grows. Consequentially, prices in the locality too appreciate.When it comes to long term investing prospects in a city, major highways are the best bet as they provide good connectivity to various localities within the city and areas in other cities.

What are the growth prospects of the Western Express Highway and the Eastern Express Highway?
The average capital value in Mulund east saw an appreciation from Rs. 9,600 to Rs. 13,500 per sq.ft in two years. Similarly, Bhandup east saw an increase from Rs. 8,200 per sq.ft in 2011 to Rs. 11,350 per sq.ft in 2013. Capital values in areas that lie along EEH such as Mulund east, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg east and Bhandup east appreciated by about 50-65% since 2011. The suburbs lying along the EEH continue to see appreciation in property values. Hence, if one wants to invest in a property in Mumbai, eastern suburbs prove to be a better choice.

Q: I came to know that new down payment norms is being offered by the real estate developers in Mumbai. I want to know more about it.

My replies to this discussion
Hi Shrikant, Can you elaborate about the scheme if you have any idea about it? Thanks in advance.Hi Shrikant, Can you elaborate about the scheme if you have any idea about it? Thanks in advance.
My comments to replies
Add to what Mr Shrikant said the scheme is being brought out with a mutual understanding between the builders and banks. The new scheme will help the buyers in easing out the burden of down payment by halving it. A buyer is expected to save about 50% on the interest costs. The negative impact on the bank is not much as it will gain more customers for loans. The developer too can offset a hit by gaining more buyers.
Who are the builders who have already announced this scheme?

Q: I read somewhere that high rise buildings in Mumbai require nod from Meteorological Dept. Is the news true?
My comments to replies
Yes you are right now the builders who want to build skyscrapers over 20 floors in South and Central Mumbai will now have to get an approval from the regional meteorological department in order to get their building plans sanctioned.
In a recent move, the regional meteorological department drastically reduced the height of two proposed towers by half, as these buildings could interfere with the new Doppler weather radar that has been installed about 3 years ago in Navy Nagar. According to gathered information, the meteorological department reduced the height of a proposed skyscraper in Wadala. The height of the proposed building was reduced from 40 floors (143 mt) to 24 floors (84.87 mt). The department also had reduced the height of another proposed building in Girgaum from 50 floors (172.5 mt) to 21 floors (73.56 mt) last year.
27th August 2013

Does the meteorological department have the provision to impose such kind of rules?
The state government has currently formed a committee to iron out the issues regarding concerning the high-rise buildings and the meteorological department. Developers have protested saying that in most global cities, such weather monitoring systems were installed a couple of hundred kilometers away from the cities. No decision has been taken yet in regards to this issue by the state government.

Q: What is the reason for the falling nature of the housing industry?

My replies to this discussion
There are different reasons for the bearish nature of the housing industry.

1.The rupee has been almost under a free fall since July. It has dropped approximately 20% against the US dollar since May scaring away many foreign investors. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has taken some steps to stop the further falling of rupee. In order to stop the outflow of Indian money into foreign countries it also passed a regulation banning Indians from making real estate purchases overseas by transferring money.

2.Rising costs is another pain. Real estate projects take a long time for their development in India due to various problems. Real estate investment groups are in debt and trying their best to avoid loan defaults by paying the interests. Very few of them are in a position to start further projects. The Orbit Group is one such example which recently defaulted its loans.

While the fall in rupee value has created concerns for foreign investors, there may be a silver lining for them. There are high occupancy rates and steady income in terms of rentals for residential and commercial real estate. While the overall supply has gone down due to limited construction, the tenant demand has been mostly good. While there is some hope for rentals in real estate, majority of Indian economy is going through a tough financial crisis and people are still struggling. The economy has not only affected people in the service class or lower-income group, but also business people.While the fall in rupee value has created concerns for foreign investors, there may be a silver lining for them.

Q: What is the reason that South Nashik is attracting Mumbaikars?

My comments to replies
For Mumbaikars who plan to invest in real estate, South Nashik is emerging as a popular real estate market. Localities in Southern Nashik has seen growing interest from investors due to their proximity to the newly completed Mumbai-Nashik expressway.
Various reasons have contributed for South Nashik becoming more popular among investors in Mumbai apart from the proximity to the expressway. 1. Nashik is currently ranked the fourth fastest growing city in India. It is also known for its pleasant climate as well as natural greenery. It is the third largest city in Maharashtra after Mumbai MMR and Pune. 2. Nashik is shortlisted as an investment region in the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). 3.

My comments to replies
Hi Everybody, Have you heard this news that the Maharashtra government will change rules and regulations to help in delivery of affordable housing projects for the millions of the state's poor. Making sure that the offered new housing policy would be "pro-people", Maharashtra CM Fadnavis told the developers to work together with the government in its mission to provide affordable housing for the lower-middle class and the poor people.
Right Sudhir, As per the Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar, state government would also emphasis on developing infrastructure and the 3000 km long state highways would be developed as national highways. FM asked the developers community to join hands with the government in building a new Maharashtra.

Q: Which are the key infrastructure projects the government is planning to discuss?

My comments to replies
I read somewhere that Out of the four projects being considered for serious discussion, the Worli-Haji Ali sea link is the most controversial one. The contract was awarded to Reliance Infrastructure Ltd last year. However, the contractor had announced that it would exit the project citing differences with MSRDC. A mediator was assigned to resolve this dispute. The mediator had slammed the government for changing the terms and conditions after MSRDC awarded the contract, and hence breached its contract with Reliance Infrastructure. The mediator had indirectly implied that the firm was not liable to pay any penalty for exiting the contract.
Yes you are right Vinay.... Apart from changing the contract terms and conditions, the government had refused to extend support to both MSRDC and Reliance Infra. There were also disputes over the non-availability of casting yard and lack of other approvals. The project was intended to reduce the peak-hour traffic snarls between the western suburbs and south Mumbai, and it was worth Rs. 4,500-crore. The state sub-committee on infrastructure may officially scrap the contract soon. MSRDC has currently two options regarding the project: It can either invite fresh tenders for the project or wait for the central government to give the environmental clearance for Mumbai's coastal road plan. The state will have to wait for at least two years for either of these process to take place

The real estate agent can help you out if you know your budget. 3) Type of neighborhood and house: Once you are done with your research about the property rates and your budget, the next inportant thing is choosing the type of property and neighborhood. 4) Other expense: You have to bear some other expenses like solicitor fees, broker commission, registration charge, down payment, Home loan processing fee, credit card or other emergency expense etc. 5) Stick to your budget: You must stick to your budget and discard a property if the seller is unwilling to drop the price to something that you can realistically afford. 6) Ready to compromise: You will not get everything you want or listed in your wish list. Keep your budget and limitations in mind and come up with an amount you can afford to pay. 7) Negotiate Property price: You should always try to negotiate on the property price and remember that properties do not have fixed price tags. 8) Scrutinize the house: Scrutinize the condition of the house from top to bottom. Consider the cost to repair any problems when deciding what to offer on the home. Scrutinize the condition and age of the roof, the plumbing and the condition of the pipes, cracks etc. You can hire a home inspector for scrutinizing the condition. 9) Ask question: You should always ask question about the property you are buying to the broker or the seller and clarify your doubts and know more about the property you are planning to buy. 10) Make an offer: You can make the offer even if you are not 100% sure you want to buy the house.

Hi Ravi, It is a good investment option to buy property in Thane, Dombivili or Kalyan since these localities are fast growing in terms of property matters. As far connectivity is concerned, Thane, Dombiivili and Kalyan are well linked by good bus services and rail mode of transport. There are fast locals starting from CST upto Kalyan at frequent intervals.
Yes Anuj, I totally agree with you. Though localities like Ambernath, Asangaon and Badlapur has huge potential and scope for developments, but right now the real estate has not quite well picked up as it will take some time, or years for these localities to develop both in terms of civic amenities, infrastructure and connectivity is concerned.

Hi everybody, If you are planning to buy property in Mumbai then Ulwe in Navi Mumbai should be your first choice as it is very close to upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. And the price are quite affordable now. It is one of the fast developing nodes in the city and offers 1BHK units ranging from Rs 24-30 lakh.
Right Mansoor, Now-a-days, Ulwe of Navi Mumbai in Limelight due to its upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. Within 2 yrs, property value has increased at rocket speed. Ulwe of Navi Mumbai is the India's best destination for residential flat investment for long term around 5 years. So invest there with a reputed builder and in good location. Annual return would be around 30-35% subject to growth and risk factors.

My replies to this discussion
The studio apartment segment is becoming more popular, especially among companies and young professionals. For companies, it becomes easier and cheaper to accommodate young and/or single employees in a studio apartment or a service apartment, instead of putting them up in a guest house or hotel. For the above mentioned reasons, the segment is becoming increasingly popular among young professionals, especially in the bigger metros. For investors, it is a good investment prospect as well as a good prospect to earn a regular rental income. As such, the segment has a good growth potential in the future.The studio apartment segment is becoming more popular, especially among companies and young professionals.

Hi Everybody, The Maharashtra government will change rules and regulations to help in delivery of affordable housing projects for the millions of the state's poor. Making sure that the offered new housing policy would be "pro-people", Maharashtra CM Fadnavis told the developers to work together with the government in its mission to provide affordable housing for the lower-middle class and the poor people.
Right Shantanu, As per the Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar, state government would also emphasis on developing infrastructure and the 3000 km long state highways would be developed as national highways. FM asked the developers community to join hands with the government in building a new Maharashtra.

@Shantanu, He also said that challenging laws and taxation must go to help the developers, but finally that should also result in affordable housing stocks. But as per him, the new offered Development Control Rules for Mumbai would make sure that the optional powers of officials are decrease to the minimum for increased visibility.

In case if you notice that you have paid more amount, then you can very well claim for the balance amount. Or else if you come to know that the builder has charged extra amount, no need to panic. You can very well utilize the balance money for paying other charges like for parking, club house, registration etc.Hello Amar, I came to know that 3 BHK flats in Lodha Lakeshore Greens comes to approx 62 lakhs.

do u see 100% capital appreciation in ghodbundar road property price after 10-12 years???
Nobody can commit you for 100% capital appreciation. It depends on locality, budget, connectivity, civic facilities, infrastructural development and employment oppertunity of that locality. Ghodbunder Road is one of the top locality of Mumbai and an important real estate market in India. The current property rate in this locality is Rs. 8550/sqft compare to the last year price Rs. 7950/sqft. One can himseld calculate the rate of appreciation in a year. It increased by 10% yearly.
10th April 2014
Okey, Due to commercial as well as residential properties in Ghodbunder, many people are keeping this area as their preferred choice. It is well connected to Mumbai and localities such as Mulund, Thane, Mira Road, Ghatkopar and Bhandup. The connectivity of the area from the international airport also makes real estate rates going up in the locality.

Hello, Thanks for response. However,it is a replica of what is already articulated. Now they have dropped the idea of terraced garden in view of objections from top floor buyers. I am concerned about assurances and commitment made in hand outs and on web site. Are you a one of the buyers ?
Hi, No, even i was planning to buy 2BHK units in it. If you have any update plz. let me know. What is the current price/sqft?
8th April 2014

Q: I have a 3 BHK (1315 sq ft) at Sector 17, Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Now this is one of the prime spots in the satellite city. Based on the property rate trends, should I hold on to this property or does it make sense to sell this and look for a 4 BHK in one of the modern constructions in Kharghar? What can I demand for the property I currently hold in Vashi, Sector 17? Given that loading is much less compared to ~30% in today's constructions, I've been told that a per sq ft price does not really make sense in this locality. People just ask for a lump sum. What is a decent price to ask?
My replies to this discussion
Hi, Since you are already holding a property in Sector 17 in Vashi, do not sell it immediately. At least try to retain the flat till you get good appreciation. Dont make a hasty decision by selling the present flat and going for a new one at Kharghar. Chances are there that you may get less price for the flat which you are possessing in Vashi and you may have to shell out more for the new one which you are planning at Kharghar.Hi, Since you are already holding a property in Sector 17 in Vashi, do not sell it immediately.

It seems the land prices in Mumbai are likely to continue to grow in the coming future because of its poor quality infrastructure, limited availability and regulatory constraints, that have severely restricted creation of new housing stock.It seems the land prices in Mumbai are likely to continue to grow in the coming future because of its poor quality infrastructure, limited availability and regulatory constraints, that have severely restricted creation of new housing stock.

@Bikram, The BMC now has to implement the demolition orders. However, Coastal Regulation Zone rules do not allow for amalgamation. So it's not just the BMC, but the Union ministry of environment and forests that is involved and whose approval is required. It is not going to be easy.

Hi Rakshit, Do you know that Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) is discussing the proposal with Indian Green Building Council that envisages a discount on property tax paid by developers and residents, and aims to boost demand for eco-friendly and energy conserving structures.
True Mansoor, Certified green buildings in Mumbai could soon get up to 20% discount on property tax as per a proposal being considered by the municipal corporation to incentivise environment friendly buildings.

Good Morning Shrikant, The Maharashtra Govt. had made provision in the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act. The Urban Development Department issued a notification on 13th March, 2013 directing the department of registration and stamps to recover 1% LBT additional to stamp duty to the civic bodies of Nagpur, Pune, Thane, Pimpri Chinchwad and Navi Mumbai on such documents like Sale Deed, Mortgage, Deed etc. Stamp Duty is 5% + 1% LBT equal to 6% on market value or on the Agreement Value for Sale Deed/Agreement for sale whichever is higher.

My replies to this discussion
Hi Abhishek, Nobody can commit you for 100% capital appreciation. It depends on locality, budget, connectivity, civic facilities, infrastructural development and employment oppertunity of that locality. As you can see that the capital values in Waghbil have increased by about 27% to Rs 8,00o/sq ft in 2013 compared to Rs 6,300/sqft in the last year. Currently the price is ranging between Rs. 8700-9100/sq ft. So you can think about the appreciation itself. If you are looking for my suggestion then i will must say that you can go for investment in this locality.Hi Abhishek, Nobody can commit you for 100% capital appreciation.

Q: Prestige residency thane We had booked the flat in thane in 2010. Where it was promised that possesion will be by 2012 April. When agreement was made possession date was changed to Oct 2012. Then they extended and said March 2013. Today it is May 2014 and still they have not handed over the possession. Work is in last stages but it is going slow and they are just relaxed and not at all worried about poor buyers. They always blame authorities. They also never respond to our emails. This is pathetic builder and don't buy any property sold by this builder. Kindly suest
My replies to this discussion
Hi Manish, Prestige residency thane is a ready to move project. Its construction work has been completed. It is better for you to talk to the developer regarding possession. You can also ask for the compensation because there is a provision for buyers if there is a delay in possession. Consult a good lawyer but before that check your agreement whether the compensation on delay is mention or not.Hi Manish, Prestige residency thane is a ready to move project.

My replies to this discussion
HI Imtiyaz, 1. If you want to sell the under construction property, you would need to take the permission of the society for selling the property ( as there would be a need to transfer the share certificates also). While the society granting approval, can ask for a transfer fee too. There are some guidelines as to how much the society can ask for the transfer fee ( its probably limited to Rs. 25000). However there are cases where societies have asked for higher fees. 2. If the society is not formed, you would need to take the permission of the builder. Here the builder can too ask for any amount as "transfer fee" 3. If the property is not registered, and you want to sell it, you would again need to take the permission of the builder. The builder will definitely ask for some "transfer fees" and this would have to be negotiated. I assume that there would be a significant price rise from the time you booked and the price that you want to sell. TherefoHI Imtiyaz, 1.

Welcome Imtiyaz, No, builder is not a party to sign such sale agreement between owner and purchaser. But you have to present all the documents got from the builder including the transfer agreement as well. He has to receive the transfer fee onlywhich is already mentioned in the agreement paper.

Hi Shantanu, As per my experience there is usually a lockin period of 1-2 yrs before which you can't sell and then you can seek with the builder permission and he would do all the needful but would charge maybe around Rs. 200-300/sq ft

Guys. Pls understand that the site office has also bewn closed and the project is a failure. It is better to unite and ask for refund + interest as per MOFA regulations as this activity by the developer amounts to fraud (launching without permissions in place). Pls contact me on miheerb@gmail.com or 9930866947 so that we can discuss the way forward.
This is really very sad for the buyers. There must be a regulatory body like SEBI, keeping tab on the developers, sending out legal notices and pushing for fast-track court order will help bring some discipline in the real estate industry. This body should ensure that at any given time, the developer should be allowed to work on only 2-3 projects at a time in order to avoid delays.

Q: How Naigaon looks 2-3 years beyond the line as currently there is no water supply..no ammenties..and How is this builder?

My replies to this discussion
Hi, Naigaon is the next station on Western line and hardly 15 minutes by road from Mira road. So, with all round development and proper planning by MMRDA, Naigaon is going to be the next Mira road in next 2-3 yrs. Not under VVMC, water problems etc, which are bound to be sorted out gradually as the area develops, as was the case with Mira rd and Bhayandar some years back. At price points between 3600 to 4200 psf property is attractively valued compared to other areas on Western line. Once Naigaon comes under VVMC and area develops further. Hence, i feel it is a good time to buy now when it is still affordable, compared to other areas on western line. Ensure you do the investingation like checking CC for complete bldg, papers etc before buying.Hi, Naigaon is the next station on Western line and hardly 15 minutes by road from Mira road.

Hello Rakshit, But when we looking at the map of Naigaon, one can see a lot of salt pans in the area . A few things come to mind that salt pans are ecological sensitive zones . And construction in ecological sensitive zones are regulated by environmental laws . Salt pan ownership is claimed by the Salt Department , Govt of India .The title of many salt pans in and around Mumbai are in disputes in various courts .
Hi Shantanu, In my opinion, Naigaon east looks quite promising given the below facts:- 1) Area is under rapid development and shaping up like a new mini city, with proper planning by MMRDA, govt agencies, etc. 2) Proximity to Mumbai. Infact distance from Mumbai limits to Naigaon is quite shorter even when compared to Ghodbunder road, etc. Virar east is good 40 kms from Mumbai limits. 3) Property is available at attractive rates i.e 3600-4200/sq-ft avarage compared to rates in Virar 4500-5000 psf+. So, scope of appreciation looks more in Naigaon. I expect entire belt from Naigaon to Virar to be priced in same band over time, once whole area develops.

Which is a better place for investment in comparison , Palghar or Khopoli or Ghodbunder road in the budget of 30 to 35 lakhs
You are right Sandeep, Thane enjoys superb connectivity to Navi Mumbai as well as to the Eastern and Western Suburbs of Mumbai via Ghodbunder Road, JVLR, SCLR, Eastern Freeway, NH 8, Mumbai-Nashik Highway and the Thane-Belapur Road. Future connectivity plans include the proposed metro rail that would run along the Ghodbunder Road with more than 10 halts within Thane itself. With the metro, the travel time between Thane and Wadala is expected to reduce by half.

Hi Bikram, But i have the information about the builder that in the year 2009 the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission had ordered the builder to hand over a flat and pay compensation of Rs 60,000 to a buyer who paid 20% of the price but never got possession. Now, the company has 3 ongoing projects in and around Mumbai and all its projects are in delay. So my advise to you that consult a good legal adviser and ask for the compensation because there is a provision for compensation if the project is in delay.Hi Bikram, But i have the information about the builder that in the year 2009 the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission had ordered the builder to hand over a flat and pay compensation of Rs 60,000 to a buyer who paid 20% of the price but never got possession.

It seems builder is not interested to start work as the prices of nearby locations have gone up including Airoli.Hi, Its better to have an OC in place.

Do not waste your money in this project or any of # DB projects.. There is no commitment, no compensation and negative investment value... i have a 1 bhk and trying to sell at 40 but similar Flats are selling at 32 lacs because of distress sellers. Even Kalyan being so far you will have to shed higher for flats of the same area It doesnt entertain any existing buyers query and not interested in responding on the details. . If you want to know any information just pose as a new customer.. Pathetic group and management.. Completely avoid the investment
Good question Ankit..... The overall property costs can be divided into 2-parts, one that is to be paid to the builder while the other are the statutory and legal costs. And within each of these categories itself there are several hidden costs which a buyer must pay at different stages. From builder side:- 1) Basic Cost, 2) Parking Charges, 3) Infrastructure Development Charges (IDC), 4) External Development Charges (EDC), 5) Maintenance Charges, 6) Amenities Charges and 7) Preferential location Charges.3 Statutory and Legal Charges:- 1) Stamp Duty, 2) Registration Charges, 3) Service Tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) and Property Tax.

Q: Mumbai apartment housing society Maintenance office asks residents to submit photos for ID cards. ID card was to be issued when everybody's information was collected. Several months later, when asked to the management officer about the ID card he said, it will be issued within 15-20 days. Eight months have passed and now they are saying they have lost my photo and asked to submit the new one. Apart from this, there is lot of mismanagement going on in this reputable housing society, so I refused to give another photo and asked them to find the lost photo. What action should be taken against this careless society? YM

Hi Yamini, Make sure that it happens with you only or every resident owners. If it happens with everyone then you all can make a written complain to the management of your society for mismanagement. But if it happens with you only, then you should submit the new one because their intention was not to disturb you, may be they have lost your photo. If you can wait for 8 months why not one more month.Hi Yamini, Make sure that it happens with you only or every resident owners.

Q: Hi Guys, I have a property in Premier Exotica Kurla Building 3 and am now being asked to pay 3rd installment as well as register the flat. got a letter dated 1st nov. i also got a similar demand notice in oct for which ive paid the installment. They have along with their demand notice attached a letter from Bidco Engineering Division (bandra East) which mentions that construction work of specific property has been completed upto 2nd floor Slab. Should i make the payment and register the flat/document.? What documents should i be asking from them? Can there be a interest payable by them for the construction delay? (bought prior to 2011) can they levy a penalty of 21% p.a (as per their letter) on us for delaying payment of installments ? Will appreciate all the help

Check you agreement first, whether there is a clause for delay possession. If yes, then builder is liable to pay, pressurized builder for compensation of delay. This is important because most clauses in these agreements are aiming at protecting builders from legal troubles while giving very few rights to buyers. So, read the agreement paper again and again for future trouble. Check you agreement first, whether there is a clause for delay possession.

NOC indicates all the terms and condition based on which the property is built up and CC is issued by local Municipal Corporation which gives permission to builder to start construction. CC is issued when all terms and conditions are satisfied. Check actual price of the property. It would include the cost for utilities like electricity and water, parking space, various taxes, any legal charges and registration charges etc. Otherwise, the builder may then impose some extra charges for any of these. Inquire about the actual size of house. Discuss about carpet area, built up area and super built up area.NOC indicates all the terms and condition based on which the property is built up and CC is issued by local Municipal Corporation which gives permission to builder to start construction.

The continuous fall in fuel prices is not translating into price reduction of cement, steel and even transport. In spite of slowdown in consumption, we saw a huge rise in cement and steel prices. The government needs to regulate steel and cement prices just as the power regulators monitor tariff.The continuous fall in fuel prices is not translating into price reduction of cement, steel and even transport.

Q: Moving to Navi Mumbai work location millenium business park mahape naka. Need to rent house 2 bhk in a good society. Which locality is good kharghar, nerul and palm beach marg
My replies to this discussion
Now, staying on rent in Palm Beach and Kharghar would cost more! According to data, the rental values in these two areas have seen a rise of over 25% in two years. While rents in Palm Beach witnessed a rise of 26%, Kharghars rental values soared by 30% from 2012 to 2014. This is due to good connectivity by railways in the centre, NH-4 on one side and the Palm Beach Road on the other side.Now, staying on rent in Palm Beach and Kharghar would cost more!

With this, it is certain that renting a home in Palm Beach and Kharghar might get expensive. So, i can suggest you to go for the Nerul as the rental markets are cheaper than these two areas.With this, it is certain that renting a home in Palm Beach and Kharghar might get expensive.

Hi, Buyers in Maharashtra have option to Section (8) of the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, which makes a developer responsible to refund the money obtained from a customer with interest if he is unable to justify non-completion or delaying possession of his project.

hi all, The Maharashtra government will change rules and regulations to help in delivery of affordable housing projects for the millions of the state's poor. Making sure that the offered new housing policy would be "pro-people", Maharashtra CM Fadnavis told the developers to work together with the government in its mission to provide affordable housing for the lower-middle class and the poor people.
Hi Shantanu, As per the Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar, state government would also emphasis on developing infrastructure and the 3000 km long state highways would be developed as national highways. FM asked the developers community to join hands with the government in building a new Maharashtra.
23rd April 2015
@Shantanu, He also said that challenging laws and taxation must go to help the developers, but finally that should also result in affordable housing stocks. But as per him, the new offered Development Control Rules for Mumbai would make sure that the optional powers of officials are decrease to the minimum for increased visibility.

Q: The prices at the Kanjurmarg project are really lucrative. Plus the amenities are good and the builder is reputed.

In that light, would this be a wise investment? will it appreciate and come at par with the other projects in vicinity?

Hi, It is wise to get fear before investment in properties, but you have to take decision once in a life. As far as the builder is concerned, it has well established built in Mumbai.

Hi Folks, A path breaking news for the Indian housing sector as the cabinet has approved launch of "Housing for all by 2022" programme, which is primarily aimed at rehabilitation of slum dwellers and promotion of affordable housing for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Lower Income Groups (LIG), through credit linked subsidy.
Really Abhishek, Lagta Hai Acche Din Aane Wale Hai............. Do you know that almost 30% of our country's population falling under LIG and EWS groups, the current price trend in Indian real estate cannot be afforded by them. Thus, schemes like these are major incentives for this section of the society along with development of affordable homes. I appreciate this move by the Modi Govt.
24th June 2015
@Abhishek, In this scheme a support of Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 2.30 lakh per beneficiary would be provided under different components of the National Urban Housing Mission (NUHM) in urban areas to build 2 crore houses to meet the housing shortage, over the next 7 years.

Hey Guy's After CIDCO managing director Sanjay Bhatia's with PM Narendra Modi with Maharashtra Chief Secretory, it is expected that they have been able to get clearances for most of the issues in the international airport project. As the City & Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) claims that it has received a go ahead from the central government. The town planning body told that 7 out of 8 issues have been resolved.
Good Morning kaushik, True, even the chief secretory of the state informed the PM that the most crucial project for the state was the airport project, so, it had to be fast tracked. Till now, CIDCO received approvals that had been awaited from the ministries, as well as from CRZ and others. Issues related to CRZ permissions, technical obstacles, land acquisition with the environment ministry, funnel zone, etc had been stuck at the centre for quite some time.
5th June 2015
But i heard that CIDO had requested the authority to pass construction project that were 53 meters in height. As per CIDCO chief secretory, all this progress has taken place within a week, and they are expecting the remaining issues to be passed soon, as they are up for decision in a few days time.

Q: Hi, Has there been any change in Mumbai property taxes?

My comments to replies
Hi all, At last the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has approved the revision in the structure of property tax for Mumbai. The standing committee of the municipal corporation, in a special meeting held on 19.03.2015, approved the revision in the base for calculation of property tax to carpet area from the current built-up space.
Hello Padma, As per the BMC the revision will be applicable for the next 5 yrs. with effect from April 1, 2015. The revision in property tax rules will help the civic authority collect revenue worth 4563 crore in 2015-16 (April-March).
20th March 2015

@Rakshit, With the old structure which was based on built-up area, BMC is estimated to collect a total of 3984 crore for the fiscal year 2014-15. But as per the new tax structure, BMC was estimated to collect revenue of 5077 crore in next financial year of 2015-16, an increase of 1093 crore, while the revised rule will fetch 579 crore in property tax.
Right Padma, The move is expected to increase the property tax collection by 14.5% in 2015-16, against 27% estimated as per old rules. Under section 128 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, the civic authority is required to approve a new tax only on or before the 21st day of March.

@Manilal, Is it true that the steps was taken after holding public consultations across the country, several members of the panel are of the opinion that provisions for prosecution and imprisonment should be added in most cases where builders fail to discharge their duties and functions. I appreciate the panel's decision. It will bring more clarity in the Indian real estate market.

Good Evening Hamsika and Rakshit, It means "Achche Din Aa gaye". Modi Govt is really doing a great job for this country. Currently, there are many builders who have to be controlled in and the current disciplinary action measures may not work as a sufficient defensive. So, the main objectives of the committee is to see how best they can protect the interests of helpless consumers from the high-handedness of powerful, unethical builders.
Absolutely right Vikash, The existing version of the bill provides for setting up state-level housing regulatory authorities and tribunals, and includes all residential and commercial projects over a certain area under its limit.

I fully agree with you Ashish. We are waiting for since the formation of the new govt. that they will take the issue seriously and they did accordingly but sorry to say that the controversial Land Bill was presented in the Lok Sabha yesterday in spite of strong protests from the opponent which known as the legislation 'anti-farmer', as members of Congress and some other parties held a walkout.

And the opponent played their trick before the voting on its release. Angry Congress members along with those from TMC, AAP and Left parties held a walk-out.

Yes, the High Court had directed Hiranandani on a PIL alleging violation of the conditions in February 2012 to construct smaller houses on remain vacant land. The developer's argument is that unless the land is fully developed, conveyance cannot be executed.Yes, the High Court had directed Hiranandani on a PIL alleging violation of the conditions in February 2012 to construct smaller houses on remain vacant land.

Very Gud Morning Shantanu, Yes, they are charging Rs. 2.67 crore to Rs. 2.70 crore onward for lake facing flats and rs. 2.77 crore to Rs. 2.80 crore onward for Garden facing flats. They are charging Rs. 150/sq-ft for floor rise.

Well Shantanu, As per discussion with their sales guy, i found that HIranandani Gardens is a BMC approved project and all the approvals are in place. They have got approvals up-to 21st floor. Ans all the leading banks are funding this project.

Hi everybody, In a relief to residents of Hiranandani Gardens in Mumbai, the Supreme Court on yesterday dismissed a special leave petition filed by real estate czar Niranjan Hiranandani's company challenging a Bombay high court order that stopped him a few months ago from constructing small homes around their plush towers in Powai. The Supreme Court requested the HC to now soon decide a suit filed by these residents who are seeking conveyance of the land from the developer.
Right Govinda, Last year, a single judge of the High Couirt had in January also restrained Lakeview Developers and others from constructing small 40 and 80 sq.mt houses after 8 housing societies, including Eternia, in the Powai Area Development Scheme took them to court last year. Because, the developer was merely following an earlier HC order to construct affordable housing.

Hi, first of all issue a legal notice to the builder demanding the furnishing of the document as promised. It is your right and the builder's liability to procure and provide the same to you.
25th September 2015
Right Lekshmi, The approval process has become indescribable lengthy, tedious, unpredictable and depends on the whims of individual officers. Getting approvals has become a major problem for builders and has increased the interest cost not just of the builders but also of consumers. Because of that Maharashtra Govt. has to take few necessary steps against the approval process. You might aware of that.
30th October 2015
Try to find out the reason. Visit the developer's office or project site to know the cause of delay. For your knowledge, i would like to give you the latest CC given by the CIDCO in the month of September 2015.

Hi all, I am quite sure that this upgradation will help these regions to fulfil the basic needs for real estate to perform and succeed in the long run. For all the projects approved, the government will contribute 50% of the funds with an equivalent amount to be organized by the states themselves. This makeover of infrastructure in 272 cities and towns will duly fuel and introduce a fresh wave of realty demand in near future.Hi all, I am quite sure that this upgradation will help these regions to fulfil the basic needs for real estate to perform and succeed in the long run.

Q: Citizens, especially businessmen, across the Maharashtra may have to pay 2 additional taxes on transactions of immovable properties.

My comments to replies
It is true Padma..........to boost urban infrastructure such as Metro Rail, freeways and sea links in various cities, and another to enhance agricultural infrastructure to control farmer suicides citizen of Maharashtra will have to pay two additional taxes.
Very true Piyush, The Maharashtra government has released a copy of the Bill that aims to revise the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act to allow the government to impose the surcharge on transactions of immovable properties. The Bill will be tabled in the state assembly.
22nd July 2015

Govt. is helpless and the financial condition of the state is not very healthy. That is why the govt. has appealed to people and businessmen that they may have to contribute this money in the form of additional taxes. It is expected that a surcharge on stamp duty may be fixed for every property transaction, while additional agriculture tax may come through the sale of goods or value-added tax.
As per the report, the government can place a surcharge of only up to 2% on stamp duty, which means an additional Rs 200-400 crore a year as the state's annual stamp revenue stands at Rs 20000 crore, of which around Rs 10000 crore is from major cities.
22nd July 2015

Good evening friends, I heard that the duty is leviable on instruments of sale, such as gift and mortgages of immovable property in those cities where such VIUTPs are started. For bad situation of the farmers, the state government plans to invest Rs 5000 crore every year to Rs 25000 crore over the next 5 yrs. to improve the agriculture sector. The government plans to take complete responsibility for the education of the children of farmers who have committed suicide and also ensure food security to such families.
Hi Ramesk, It was a major task for the government that they have to dig up 3 lakh wells in the years to come, create 1 lakh artificial farm ponds and facilitate irrigation by acquiring lands. In next 3 yrs, the suicide-prone 14 districts will get 135 special projects in the form of irrigation to bring 2.5 lakh hectares under water supply. For this, over Rs 7000 crore has already been planned.

Q: Hi, i am planning to buy a residential house in Mira Road. Can anybody provide me the information about the locality?

My comments to replies
Hey guys, What will be the approximate monthly rent of 2BHK in the MIra Road? What is the gross rental yield of this area?
Good Evening Miran, The approximate monthly rent of a 1BHK apartment is about Rs 6000-12000, while that of a 2BHK apartment is about Rs 11000-16000. The approximate monthly rent of a 3BHK unit is about Rs 15000-23000. The approximate rental yield, calculated by dividing the total rent of the property over 12 months by the total cost of the property, is about 3% in the area.

Q: How long it will take to approve a project in Mumbai and who is the approval authority? And what will be the charged for obtaining the approval?

My comments to replies
Yes, even i want to know all this because whenever we ask the builder about the project their answer will be, we are waiting for the approval, once we get the approval, will start the construction. Will you plz. share some information about the project approval process?
Good Morning Arpit, Time needed for obtaining Ownership Certificate/Extract-15 days, cost of obtaining approval-Rs. 50 per CTS No./Property Registration Card and for that you have to take the grant of permission by Revenue Department.
13th August 2015

Thanks Rakshit, And what about Building Layout Approval? How much time it required and cost of obtaining the approval? Who is the approval authority?
Good question Arpit, Time required for obtaining Building Layout approval-1 month, cost of obtaining approval-application fee of Rs. 28/sq-mtr. of plot/built up area whichever is larger for residential projects. You have to take the permission by Development Authority/Municipality.
13th August 2015
But remember it will be a long process. As the building company submits an application form with plans and all required documents, as prescribed by section 373 of the BMC Act, at the Andheri Building Proposal Office of the BMC. If all the documents are in order and the file is complete, the building company can proceed the payment of the scrutiny fees have been paid, the application file is forwarded to the concerned officer in the Building Proposal Dept. Then the file is forwarded to the survey office, which make it remarks on the application file and check the remarks from the Development Plan Office. If Survey Office is satisfied with its review, it will send the application file back to the Building Proposal Department within week.
13th August 2015

Hey Rakshit, I heard that to obtain Intimation Of Disapproval or Building Permit, builder has to approach the Building Proposal Office and the time taken to complete this is between 30-45 days. Also, they have to pay Rs. 33/sq-mt as scrutiny fee and Rs. 350/sq-mt as development charges. Is it right?
True Arushisha......after the site inspection, the application file returns to the Building Proposal Office to receive an intimation of Disapproval. The concerned sub-engineer scrutinizes the proposal and forward the report to the assistant engineer and executive engineers. The proposal is approved at the executive engineer's level if no concessions are involved. Thus, the intimation of disapproval is issued with a list of "no-objection certificates" which the applicant must obtain separately from various departments and govt. authorities.

Nakshatra is a housing community that has been developed by the Nakshatra Group in Palghar (W) Mumbai. The locality seems to me is better the locality of VBHC. As Western part is more developed than the eastern parts. Road and Rail connectivity is also good compare to the eastern parts. In eastern parts lot's of illegal construction is going on. So, be careful and ask all the required documents before investing in VBHC.Nakshatra is a housing community that has been developed by the Nakshatra Group in Palghar (W) Mumbai.

Should I wait to buy the property as prices aer expected to go down
Right Dhiraj, Property prices are always range bound and never go below lower bracket of range. Current price per square feet in Palghar East is Rs. 2750/sq-ft approx and in West, it is Rs. 2550-3800/sq-ft. Don't expect that the prices to go below Rs. 2550/sq-ft. except distress sale or properties with inherit disadvantages like south facing property or property near graveyards.

Q: The realty markets is facing a horrific slowdown, with sales down desperately and the inventory of unsold flats piling up. Even investors in property are facing the heat.
My replies to this discussion
If somebody ask to me, will the prices fall? I will say yes. However, a correction does not mean that real estate prices will come down by 30-40%. A 30-40% come down mean, there is a crash in property market and it can happen only when the economy goes into a recession. But our economy is doing extremely well now, the GDP is growing at a good pace, inflation is down and PE Investors are investing in both manufacturing and e-com businesses.If somebody ask to me, will the prices fall?

True Harilal, Apartments that are unaffordable right now might witness demand when the available incomes increase in the next 2-3 yrs. Till then, the residential real estate segment will continue to see time correction. Real estate has lost its charm as an asset class among investors. Not all real estate investors are wealthy. There are ordinary people who bought a 2nd house because they thought real estate would do well. That is one of the biggest reasons why transaction volumes have dropped.
24th August 2015

True Nikhil, Last week, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan told that the industry must bring prices down to attract buyers. If real estate developers will able to bring down prices, it will be a big help to the sector. Once there is a feeling that the prices have stabilised more people will be ready to buy. But the builders have already sold a significant inventory of those projects. If they cut prices now, they will lose their reputation.
Hello Rameswari, One major reason for the slow down in real estate is the government's crackdown on black money. Real estate has traditionally been a appropriate place to position unaccounted money and almost 10-30% of the transaction value is done in cash. The impact of this change will become more strong in the coming months.

Q: Should I invest in stand alone apartment or bigger project...as lot of big project suffering from loss

My comments to replies
Hi Suresh, Avoid luxury and bigger property at all costs right now. First home buyers should buy in proximity to family and employment and live on rent in big cities until the developer has reduce the property value. Wait for some time, i think there is a chance of healthy price correction. How long will builders pay the high interest rate. Once they have to come out from their cave. My advice to you "Strike the iron when it is hot".
All fingers of a hand are not equal!!!! Can anybody tell me why???? Likewise, all the developers are not too bad only few. You might read the today's news where India Research and Rating Agency has rated "IND A-" to Lodha Developers for their funded land bank, secured approvals, execution track record, strong cash flow visibility and financial flexibility.

My replies to this discussion
There are other positive signs too. Outsourcing companies have seen a healthy growth in the business with the devaluation of the rupee. That can be seen in the large amounts of office space that was leased in 2014. If business development lead to IT companies hiring more talent and giving higher increment to keep talent, it will surely begin home sales.There are other positive signs too.

My comments to replies
Yes, the happiness over State Bank of India's 40 bps (0.4%) reduction in interest rates is possible to get watered down significantly for home buyers. India's largest bank SBI told that the interest rate on new home loans will be only 20 bps lower which is less than 1/2 of the 50 bps reduction in standard rates by the RBI.
It means this 40 basis point reduction in the bank's base rate will not fully apply to new home loan customers.

Q: Hello All...We have a flat in Avenue I, global City virar. This month we are being offered 'fit-out possession' in lieu of final payment. My question is how it can be different from actual possession? Should we accept it? Do we have an option to reject it and wait? Thanks.

My replies to this discussion
Hi, Fit-out-possession is a term given to a possession which still has legal or so civil work left. By offering possession of not fully ready apartments, builder is washing his hands off. He is putting the responsibility on you. In case of any eventuality/disaster, the responsibility would come on the residents. So, never go for fit-out-possession.

Thanks Rakshit and Rajesh...but then are we legally in a position to hold last payment and reject their offer till they give final possession?
Hello Pratima, It might be happened that builder is unable to obtain occupancy certificate because he is unable to meet statutory requirements. For example, no fire clearance, electricity connection etc. Developers with delayed projects are offering this to wash their hands of their responsibilities.

I am still looking other projects too . Please share valuable information if you find any . Thanks
Hello Veena, But Tirupati Balaji Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. Tirupati Balaji Builcon Pvt. Ltd. and Balaji Builders Pvt. Ltd. are registered under ISO Certified companies. But it is your duty that you follow the strict guidelines while buying properties. Words of Mouth is one of them. This is one of the easiest way to find out details about the reputation of a builder. If this builder has recently done some work for your colleagues, family friends etc. then they will surely be in a position to share their experiences with you. This is absolutely impartial information that no broker can give you.

My replies to this discussion
Hi, Real estate in India has been criticized for the lack of transparency and the unfair advantages exercised by big builders. One of the major issue faced by apartment owners in India is that whenever they want to sell any flat owned by them, they are asked by the builder to pay a transfer fee before they can sell off the flat. Usually the amount asked as transfer tee is big and the owner has to part with a large sum of money due to the unfair demand on the part of the builder. My advice to you don't pay any charges in cash, always pay in cheque as it will have written proof for you. At the same time NOC is a required document to resale property and for availing bank loan. There is no legal basis on which a builder can levy transfer charges on the apartment owner.

Hi, Since you have registered "Agreement of Sale" which has a limited validity period. So legally, you are not safe unless you have a "Sale Deed" in your name. My suggestion is to go for a proper "Sale Deed" even if it means more expense.

Because of such issue, NRIs are not only selling their property in India but also avoiding investing in the country as it may lead to tax complications in the future. On the other hand, Indian banks are hesitant to open accounts that will help US-based NRIs to invest in India because it will increase their reporting obligations.

Q: GST bill, if cleared by the Parliament, can stabilize or even reduce cost burden on home buyers.

My comments to replies
Hi folks, Real estate sector has been stumbling under slow sales, increased prices and high interest rates for couple of years now. These factors have led to intense cash shortage among developers, leading to project delays.
Correct Ankita, a single GST structure is the need of the hour as the situation may get further complex with states having power to notify differential SGST rate. In such cases, local developers will have a tough time in the middle and segregation is bound to happen for states selecting higher tax bracket.

Q: Cheating and fraud cases has become daily routine for builders now-a-days.

My comments to replies
In India, consumers can approach auditors registered with the Quality Council of India for an inspection to determine if materials used in the construction meet all safety norms.
Right Priya, Property verification is very simple. To verify the history of the property, you can check the updated current 7/12 extract of the property duly issued by the office of local Talathi. Through the 7/12 extract you can come to know the name / names of the owner / owners, the Hissa (share) of the owner, the property Gat Number or the Survey Number, if any other person or entity does have any right in the property then it is mentioned in the column of the other rights in the 7/12 extract, and all the mutations numbers of the past transactions made in relation of the same property.

Hello, In the race for generating maximum profits, yes there are lots of cheating and fraud cases. But yes there are honest engineers who value the responsibility entrusted in them by their customers. In case you are building a home then one way of filtering is by making sure that the company you are dealing with is headed and managed by qualified engineers in the construction field. They will guide you step by step from legal opinions to proper engineering and construction practices so that your investment is safe.
Hi Sukumar, Fraud cases are almost everywhere across the country. Everybody is busy in making money in shortest possible time. The same case is associating with the Gundecha Builders, the Supreme Court has thrown out its appeal to challenge a Bombay high court order that held as completely fake, the builder's claim over 25 acres of prime land in Goregaon west.

Q: Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said they they are taking strong and honest steps to ensure low-cost housing and social security for every citizen.

My comments to replies
It is true Sangyukta. But opposition party is not interested and trying to obstruct the approval. They don't know that the Bill will provide a uniform regulatory environment to ensure speedy adjudication of disputes and orderly growth of the real estate sector.
He also gave his speech on Goods and Services Tax, he said it is a historic step in tax reform and would immediately convert India into a one big uniform market, which will benefit all stakeholders.
7th January 2016
I think Naqvi is right. GST will simplify the indirect tax regime in the country and is expected to reduce cost of production and inflation in the economy, thereby making the Indian trade and industry more competitive, domestically as well as internationally.

My comments to replies
First of all i would like to tell you the calculation of old property. These are the simple steps which you have to follow while you are calculating property tax of an old building in Thane. (Capital value-based system) Capital value = Base value x Built up area x Use category x Type of building x Age factor x Floor factor
Undoubtedly, Thane district is the Wild West as far as the construction/realty industry in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region is concerned. Illegal construction has flourished as successive governments have been merciful and as authorities like corporation officials and policemen, their pockets well-lined, turned a blind eye. In return, poor buyers will have to suffer a lot during redevelopment is concerned.
18th January 2016

Hi Joseph, In this matter you must consult with a property lawyer. He will give you the right idea of the property tax and whether the building is legal or illegal. Nobody can help you better than a property expert.
I think Sankalp is right, However, most such lands in Thane do not have clear ownership title. The landlords leased out their plots in return for a financial consideration for 60 years to 100 years. The temporary ownership of this land now rests with the lessee, who constructed the chawls or buildings on these plots and thus created third party share on this land

Q: Hi, I am looking to invest in real estate. I am confused whether to invest in a new project or a previously owned apartment.

My comments to replies
Hi, There appears to be no easy answer to this question. People prefer resale flats instead of new ones for various reasons. Sometimes, a certain location just does not offer suitable options on the primary market. property buyers who want to invest in flats do not do enough research and often lose out on good projects.
Hi Supratim, According to me, it might be a good idea for a person living in a rented flat to instead invest in a resale property. Buyers who buy resale properties generally pay lower amount, sometimes 10% lower than the cost of a new home. Buying a home at present is sometimes better than waiting endlessly for the prices to fall. Especially with the recent downturn the real estate market has experienced, this is a good time to invest in new or resale homes.
21st January 2016

But a home buyers always like to buy a resale flats and has different view on the issue. They often prefer to buy resale flats as they guarantee possession of the property as there have been too many cases of long delay in deliveries or have been completely stopped.
Apart from that there is some issue with the resale flats currently face are listed below: As resale flats are often sold by individuals, buying a resale flat often implies paying a 25% down payment on the house in form of cash. This percentage of payment is often higher than the initial percentage paid for new flats. And the amount not affordable by every single individual especially for those who are looking for home loan property.

Right james, You can see that courts, state governments, as well as the centre with its proposed real estate regulatory bill taking a strong view on cases of cheating, fraud, delays in delivery against builders.

Special offers are available indeed everywhere. Unless there is acceptance that this is indeed a price correction, the expectation and sentiment will continue to hold back the need from being converted to demand.Yes, i am not ignoring it too.

The challenge with these belief in the model is the fact that the government needs to keep prices in check so as to achieve its goal of housing for all. The only solution therefore is for the sector to become far more efficient and produce faster than we have been used to thus far.

Hi Bhavin!! Maharashtra government has stopped citizens from selling their Mhada flats in open market. On 10th July, 2015. According to the state housing department, the government had decided to enforce rules that will restrict the sale of MHADA houses permanently in the open market. If people want to sell their Mhada flat, they can sell it back to the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada). My first question to you, did you buy your flat before 10th July, 2015? If yes then it is illegal because MHADA has informed property registration and stamp duty department not to do registration of these flats.Hi Bhavin!!

Q: Why are end users purchase ready to move flats rather than under construction property?

My replies to this discussion
Well Rakshit. There are numerous options in all prices and configuration ranging from new launch to ready-to-move-in flat. So, it becomes confusing for the home buyers as to what they should choose. My views based on price - Since the price of a property is reversely equivalent to the stages of its construction, it is quite clear that the price of ready to move options will be higher than that of its under construction counterparts, even if situated in the same location. Ready-to move-in flats offer you a chance to shift to the new house immediately that saves your rent. On the other hand, if you buy an under construction house, you will have to pay a heavy amount as interest on loan in addition to your current rental which reduces its growth.Well Rakshit.
